Baby #3 Week 18

This week has been a doozy on the busy scale. I know everyone always says to not complain about being busy but man, commitments are consuming my life right now! Cheer is in full swing and I am managing 4 practices a week (with a ton of help from family).

We had a fun Thursday dinner at church with the babies' preschool. They had a blast running around with all the other kids. Preschool nights are crazy with all those little ones running around!

Pregnancy Highlights:
Today's Date: Friday, November 15th
How Far Along: 18 weeks
Size of baby: Baby is the size of a sweet potato and are measuring 5.6 inches and weigh 6.7oz 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I gained a pound this week putting the total at 4lbs gained
Maternity Clothes: still yes in the pants and no in the shirts
Gender: Boy! Shep (still don't know his full name!)
Movement: Yes, not constant but I definitely feel it from the inside. Not so much on the outside yet.
Sleep: Ok. I felt really sick this week and have tried to go to bed early. I was out at 8:15 last night but also had a 101 fever and chills. I normally wake up once or twice a night.
What I miss: My appeitite
Cravings: crunchy stuff, potato chips
Symptoms: Not a whole lot this week. I can definitely tell my belly is growing and getting a bit harder.
Best Moment this week: Learning the gender, revealing it to our parents, and starting to plan the nursery!


Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!
Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements.
